Ferocious Mopes

Ferocious Mopes is the third record from Brooklyn, New York's Say Hi to Your Mom, which is actually just a boy named Eric who makes records in his bedroom. There are more people in the band when he plays live. Like the first two records, Numbers & Mumbles (2004) and Disco sadness (2002), Ferocious is stuffed full of quirky indie pop. Over lush guitars, fuzzy synths and minimalist drums, the record's protagonists scour junkyards for abandoned rocketships, contemplate what it's like to be ghosts, follow mysterious breadcrumbs into enchanted forests and pretend to be vampires. But despite the fantastical subject nature, there's something universal and human inherent in every Say Hi song. With three critically embraced full length records in just three years, the band has quickly become one of this generation's most endearing and prolific indie rock voices.
